Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

FInally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combinatio for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
cache-init, cache-update, find-updated and portindex are a set of perl scripts built around the common core of the FreeBSD::Portindex modules. Their use is to generate and maintain the ports INDEX or INDEX-5 files speedily and efficiently. Ultimately they work in a very similar way to the standard make index command, except that the FreeBSD::Portindex tools keep a cache of the make describe output from each port, and can update that cached data incrementally as the ports tree itself is updated.

ports-mgmt/p5-FreeBSD-Portindex: deprecate and mark for removal before 2023Q2

This is something I wrote years ago, but haven't been actively
maintaining for some time.  Recent changes to move the WWW setting
from pkg_descr to port Makefiles will certainly have broken
functionality, if it wasn't broken before.  Also, it is dependent on
the deprecated db5 port through databases/p5-BerkeleyDB.

Since no one has complained, I guess no one is actually using this
software, so remove it from ports.  If anyone wants to take this over,
contact me privately and I can pass the git repo to you.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles

It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.

Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.

There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Make it so that the default Perl is always called perl5.

- Move Perl's man1 files along with its man3 files.
- Move where Perl installs its modules man1 pages.
- Convert the ports installing man1 pages.
- Make different Perl versions installable at the same time.
  Though you should note that only the default version can be used to
  install Perl modules, and the non default Perl versions cannot use the
  modules installed via ports if they contain .so as they are installed
  in a version specific directory.

 - Release 2.8

 - Radical changes to the cache: now stores a record for every
   file that could affect the generated INDEX, which ports
   those files belong to and the timestamp of the file.

 - Default update mechanism is now to compare timestamps with
   what is in the cache.  Doesn't need to parse the output of
   any update mechanism (although you can still do that.)

 - Added new make-readmes command to create a tree of README.html
   files.

- Add GraphViz output mode to portdepends(1). Pretty
pictures of port dependency trees.

most recent changes weren't listed in there.

supported FreeBSD major versions.

New release: version 2.4

- Fix bug where LIB_DEPENDS data was missing from some of the
RUN_DEPENDS column in the generated INDEX (reported by dougb)

- Add an option to portdepends to shorten the output. Only
traverse each dependency sub-tree one time. For complex ports
this results in a substantial decrease in output -- the long
form can produce literally millions of lines.

- Add LICENSE

- Pet portlint

This release modifies the on-disk binary format of the cache.
You will need to rerun cache-init after upgrading.

 * New 'CrunchWhitespace' configuration option -- emulate the way
 that 'make index' collapses multiple whitespace into single in
